Mosaic Atlas Updates

Mosaic Atlas' 2nd anniversary was last month. To date we have 3213 mosaics from 490 different locations in 62 countries throughout the world. 216 people contributed photos to make this all happen.

I just got caught up with the most recent submissions. Here they are:

Michael & I - Boston - Colonial Theatre
Robert Field in the UK is doing research on a mosaic firm from Manchester, UK which existed from the mid 1800s to 1965. Apparently all the records were destroyed when the firm went out of business. One of their commissions was the Colonial Theatre in Boston. I was unaware that this site had such interesting mosaics on the lobby floor.

Also from Massachusetts, James Bowen sent photos of mosaics on Cape Cod. Check out the new mosaics in the Church of the Transfiguration in Orleans.
